<p>My beloved <a target="_blank" href="https://charlestonshoeco.com/products/monterey">Monterey Sandals</a> from Charleston Shoe Company took me all over Paris and Nice this summer! They're made of super cushy soles, and the stretchy material makes them near blister-proof. The Monterey is always $100 though, so a buck off isn't exactly something to write home about. However! If the clunky, <a target="_blank" href="http://nymag.com/strategist/article/best-sandals-for-flat-feet.html">fashion-forward sandal deemed "cool"</a> by the knuckleheads over at NYMag isn't your thing, they have a huge selection of other styles that are usually much more expensive - and rarely on sale. I recommend the <a target="_blank" href="https://charlestonshoeco.com/products/easton">Easton</a>, <a target="_blank" href="https://charlestonshoeco.com/products/seabrook">Seabrook</a>, or the <a target="_blank" href="https://charlestonshoeco.com/products/tybee">Tybee</a>!</p><p>And yes, they're total grandma shoes and yes, they're comfy as all get out so I don't care.</p><h3><a target="_blank" href="https://puppiesmakemehappy.com/?utm_source=Puppies+Make+Me+Happy+Super+Exclusive+Fan+Club&amp;utm_campaign=1753304348-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_GIVEAWAY&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_term=0_2f8f3aeb2d-1753304348-287331373&amp;mc_cid=1753304348&amp;mc_eid=49e23d4844">Puppies Make Me Happy: 30% OFF</a></h3>

<p>I can't take credit for this one. My friend Kristie snapped herself at the gym wearing this shirt and I've been obsessed ever since. Not only are their tanks SUPER soft, there's something for everyone. I couldn't find any photos of me in one since I mostly just wear them to work out or lounge in, but I'm probably going to snag the <a target="_blank" href="https://puppiesmakemehappy.com/collections/womens-sweatshirts/products/preorder-pet-all-the-dogs-crewneck-sweater">"Pet All The Dogs" sweatshirt</a> today.

I personally own the Red Eye hoodie and love it for travel. I'm planning on snagging some of the yoga dress pants! If you're unfamiliar, Betabrand is sort of a crowd-sourced clothing company, with heavy focus on comfortable travel and work clothes.

So I threw this jacket on with it and realized the length was no good with the length of the dress. In my head, it worked, but in real life I looked kind of frumpy. No worries there, I just unzipped the bottom of the jacket and made it into a cute little blazer.</p>

Things start LOOKING like fall, and you'll get an occasional crisp day that kind of feels fall-ish, but then a day later it's in the 80's again and you're just a tiny sweat factory. Humidity is the enemy of cuteness. So this month's "Things I Wore" is fun because you'll see a progression of the weather!</p><p>Disclosure: Some of these links make me money. Some don't, because I wanted to link the exact item for accuracy. I've provided similar options whenever something is old or sold out! Enjoy.</p>

<p>By this outfit, things were starting to get chillier in the mornings and evenings so I was able to snuggle up in this extremely cute and cozy cardigan, which later would be slung around my hips around lunch time when it was warm again.</p><p>Cardigan, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.justfab.com/invite/AJshoes">JustFab</a>.

<p>And finally, it was time to pull out the boots again. These demons are my favorite but I really need to put my calves on a diet so they'll go all the way up my leg like GIgi Hadid's. I walked outside in this get up and realized it was COLD, so I came back in and threw on a leather jacket and had to take another snap.

<p>Have I mentioned that Halloween is my favorite month? Because it is. You can get away with SO much weird stuff in October. I actually startled a woman who got on the elevator with these bad boys. She said, "You do you girl, you just made my day." These monstrosities were appropriate because we were seeing a live Rocky Horror Show production at The Weekend Theater after work and you gotta go all out for Dr. Frankenfurter.</p><p>Jacket, Kenneth Cole.

<p>AND FINALLY...no October wear post would be complete without my Halloween costume? I've been spending basically all of my free time exploring in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild on my Switch so I knew within ten seconds of playing that game what I was going to be for Halloween (here's what I am for the non-nerds in the room). That wig...was spectacular. I choose all of my costumes around wigs.</p><p>Costume: Handmade by me. Leggings, <a target="_blank" href="http://shopstyle.it/l/mstw">Spanx</a>.

Classic me. Every time I put it on whatever bottoms I was wearing it with made me feel mumsy or school teacher-y. And then one day on a whim, I decided to try it with a circle skirt and BOOM. Outfit made. I'm honestly not sure it'll go with anything else, but it was cheap so I also am not sure I mind.</p>

<p>A little #OOTN from dinner with my in-laws. I stalked this top when Eva Chen wore it on Instagram a couple of times and managed to snag the last one from Shopbop! It's by Whistles if you want to stalk it, but if you like the general style <a target="_blank" href="http://shopstyle.it/l/j2xC">this one from Forever 21 is cute</a>.

<p>I also worked in September, and I've been trying to up my game a little when it comes to my work wear. I got sloppy in August and basically just wore a t-shirt and jeans every day, which is totally acceptable in a startup environment, but this month I tried to get back in the swing of things. Eventually I hope to be in bloggable fall outfits and taking photos on the reg.</p><p>Outfit 1: Top, Trina Turk.

<p>If you've followed me for a while, you know my feelings on multiples. It just makes you look like you're wearing the exact same outfit in different colors. Here's a great example of that, since I bought the same pants in two different colors from Zara - but they're so breezy and comfy, I don't care. They're basically the only pants I can wear right now since it's still 90.</p><p>Outfit 1: Top, Lush via <a target="_blank" href="https://www.trunkclub.com/my/invite/LQPLHL">Trunk Club</a>.

<p>And finally, we celebrated our sweet friends Jeff &amp; Erin in September which meant getting decked out in our wedding finest. Since it was a backyard wedding, I went with a "sexy casual" vibe and BB is in all Express.

Me either. Truth is, sometimes you've got to take a break and you can come back fresh and better than ever.</p><p>I promise to eventually add some posts about France, because it was awesome. But first!</p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.bootcuffsocks.com/">Boot Cuffs &amp; Socks</a> featured me on a blog post of theirs recently (<a target="_blank" href="https://www.bootcuffsocks.com/blogs/news/blog-roundup-1">see it here, SO nice!</a>), and reached out to see if I'd be interested in reviewing their products. Since it's still in the 80's here in Arkansas (omg so fall), it's a *little* early for boot cuffs, but I loved the idea of their <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bootcuffsocks.com/collections/lace-extenders/products/copy-of-lace-shorts-extenders">Shorts Extenders</a> and took them for a spin.&nbsp;</p>
<img class="thumb-image" alt="shorts-3.jpg" data-image="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5241b695e4b007c50d79889b/t/59d537190abd0433884515ff/1507145503026/shorts-3.jpg" data-image-dimensions="800x989" data-image-focal-point="0.5,0.5" data-load="false" data-image-id="59d537190abd0433884515ff" data-type="image" src="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5241b695e4b007c50d79889b/t/59d537190abd0433884515ff/1507145503026/shorts-3.jpg?format=1000w" />
<p>Basically, they're little cotton shorts with lace on the ends to wear underneath your shorty-shorts for a new look and a little extra length. And let me tell you - these things are HANDY. Not only are they super comfy to wear, they take care of one really big problem I always seem to be complaining about - thigh rubbing!</p>
<img class="thumb-image" alt="shorts-2.jpg" data-image="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5241b695e4b007c50d79889b/t/59d53755b1ffb6653bc29a5d/1507145566185/shorts-2.jpg" data-image-dimensions="800x593" data-image-focal-point="0.5,0.5" data-load="false" data-image-id="59d53755b1ffb6653bc29a5d" data-type="image" src="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5241b695e4b007c50d79889b/t/59d53755b1ffb6653bc29a5d/1507145566185/shorts-2.jpg?format=1000w" />
<p>I actually threw these in my bag for France and wore them under skirts, too, which was an awesome little solution to the dreaded chubrub, and really handy for modesty purposes like riding a bike or sitting on steps somewhere. Not into black? <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bootcuffsocks.com/collections/lace-extenders/products/ivory-lace-short-extenders">They're available in white as well</a>! I snagged this photo from their website so you could see how cute they look peeking out from cutoffs.&nbsp;</p>

<p>And, full disclosure, I've been wearing my white ones as sleep shorts. They're like super cute little bloomers that I throw on under a long tank. Like I said - versatile! The actual shorts are a soft jersey material, so they're very comfy for long wear.</p><p>Big thanks to Jamie and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bootcuffsocks.com/">Boot Cuffs &amp; Socks</a> for sending the samples for me to try, and check out their website for some super cute "Faking Fall" boot cuffs. If you're gonna wear boots in the south right now, using a cuff instead of a full sock is a really cute way to change up your look.</p><p>PS - As far as sizing goes, the chart is pretty spot on. I measured my thighs as the most important part, since the lace doesn't have as much give, and the XL is a perfect fit. Thighs for days, y'all.&nbsp;</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/AjWearsClothes/~4/vbz-ee4Y4HM" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>http://ajwearsclothes.com/home/2017/10/4/aj-wears-lace-extendersWhy I'm Bringing Back the Skortshoppingfriday favoritesajwearsclothesFri, 01 Sep 2017 16:42:52 +0000http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AjWearsClothes/~3/vs4h7ubFZfE/why-im-bringing-back-the-skort5241b695e4b007c50d79889b:52557876e4b07d0f5f9cd1ee:599083c715d5db6d7e45626d<p>Arkansas summers are hot. That's not a surprise, considering it's the south, but now that I walk a lot more I've noticed a disturbing trend - wearing skirts inevitably ends in chubrub<strong>®. </strong>Sure, I'd love to lose about 100 lbs so my thighs no longer touch and I don't have this problem anymore, but that's not gonna happen, so I had to find a better solution.</p><p>*clumsy woman fumbles with sauce jar* THERE'S GOT TO BE A BETTER WAY!&nbsp;</p><p>For some reason, I was randomly wandering around Belk a few weeks ago (BB likes their shirts and we were in the neighborhood) and I stumbled on the world's most perfect invention: The Skort. I remember them vaguely from my childhood in the 80's, the original "business in the front (skirt), party in the back (shorts!)." These were so much better, though. The shorts...<em>were inside of the skirt</em>.</p>
<img class="thumb-image" alt="skorts.gif" data-image="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5241b695e4b007c50d79889b/t/59a98d81e3df2818c7f428e1/1504284121730/skorts.gif" data-image-dimensions="800x450" data-image-focal-point="0.5,0.5" data-load="false" data-image-id="59a98d81e3df2818c7f428e1" data-type="image" src="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5241b695e4b007c50d79889b/t/59a98d81e3df2818c7f428e1/1504284121730/skorts.gif?format=1000w" />
<p>I've worn spanx to keep my thighs at bay this summer, which leads to lots of sweating and being uncomfortable, so a lightbulb went off in my head when I saw these. They would be perfect for work, perfect for walking to work, and perfect for traveling. I bought them in black and white.</p>
<img class="thumb-image" alt="skort-1.jpg" data-image="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5241b695e4b007c50d79889b/t/59a98c26c027d8b6d6097abf/1504283694295/skort-1.jpg" data-image-dimensions="800x1067" data-image-focal-point="0.5,0.5" data-load="false" data-image-id="59a98c26c027d8b6d6097abf" data-type="image" src="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5241b695e4b007c50d79889b/t/59a98c26c027d8b6d6097abf/1504283694295/skort-1.jpg?format=1000w" />
<p>While the length might be a little too short for taller girls and more conservative workplaces, I typically can get away with higher hemlines thanks to my height. The material is a glorious, stretchy suiting material and they pull on - no zippers, buttons, nothing. SO. COMFY.</p>

<p>Surprise!</p><p>These particular skorts are from a brand called <a target="_blank" href="http://www.belk.com/search/?q=kaari%20blue">Kaari Blue</a>, which appears to be a Belk exclusive (read: in house) brand.

That's why I'm taking today's outfit photos standing in my dining room instead of in a more hip blogger spot - because the world needed to see another grown woman in *essentially* a playsuit and I refused to deny them this.</p>

All opinions are mine alone. #DDIcedCoffeeToGo #CollectiveBias</em></p><p>Last month, we packed all of our worldly belongings into an 8'x12' Pod and officially moved from the 'burbs to a condo Downtown Little Rock. It's been a crazy transition - from driving less, walking more, and re-learning how to walk the dog, we are adjusting to condo life quite nicely.</p>

<p>One thing I have not quite adjusted to, of course, is my morning drink stop routine. I was in a pretty steady habit of dropping by Dunkin' Donuts® for an iced coffee several days a week on my way to work. Now that I just walk a few blocks, that's no longer an option.
Enter: Dunkin' at <a href="http://cbi.as/9kbbj" rel="nofollow">Kum & Go®</a>! Iced coffee is a perfect summer morning treat, and Dunkin' Donuts has the best, so I had my husband drop by Kum & Go® to stock up on a few bottles for us to keep at home!</p>
<img class="thumb-image" alt="dunkin-2.jpg" data-image="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5241b695e4b007c50d79889b/t/5989477d03596e41d8c486f9/1502168958060/dunkin-2.jpg" data-image-dimensions="800x533" data-image-focal-point="0.5,0.5" data-load="false" data-image-id="5989477d03596e41d8c486f9" data-type="image" src="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5241b695e4b007c50d79889b/t/5989477d03596e41d8c486f9/1502168958060/dunkin-2.jpg?format=1000w" />
<p>So, here's the deal. I stock my fridge with Dunkin'&nbsp;Donuts iced coffee, then I put it over ice in a to-go cup to give myself the full drive-thru treatment. I also usually add a little cinnamon just for some zest. It's tasty, it's cute, and I swear I type faster after I've had a few sips. If you've ever wondered how I do it all - the answer is caffeine. Lots and lots of caffeine.</p>

<p>You can pick it up from any <a href="http://cbi.as/9kbbj" rel="nofollow">Kum & Go®</a> in one of four flavors - Mocha, Original, French Vanilla, and Espresso. They're all great, and all super easy to pour over ice in your own kitchen and take on-the-go. BB's favorite is Mocha, and I'm partial to Original.</p>

<p>Dunkin'&nbsp;Donuts iced coffee ALSO makes a great little gift for your coffee-obsessed co-workers! You can drop by the dollar store and pick up a cup, some little bags, and a bow to put together an adorable gift for promotions, anniversaries, birthdays, or just for fun.</p>

<p><a href="http://cbi.as/9kbbj" rel="nofollow">Kum & Go®</a> clearly understands caffeine addiction, as they have an entire coffee SECTION in their cold drinks. You can find it chilling (literally) there, and we saw some by the register in a cooler too.</p>

This time, I asked my stylist Jayme to fill a box with some cute stuff to wear on our upcoming vacation. I have a pretty good handle on what I'm going to pack, but since she had sent me a trunk anyway and I have some credit with them, I decided to see what she could come up with.&nbsp;</p>

<p>If you're new to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.trunkclub.com/my/invite/LQPLHL">Trunk Club</a>, it's an at-home personal styling service owned by Nordstrom. You have a direct line to your own personal stylist, so you can call them, chat with them, and even send them your <a target="_blank" href="https://www.pinterest.com/ajparker/pins/">Pinterest</a> boards. If there's something in particular you're looking for (say, a black dress), your stylist can send you several options to try on in the comfort of your own home. Try everything on, keep what you want, and send back the rest! I've found that <a target="_blank" href="https://www.trunkclub.com/my/invite/LQPLHL">Trunk Club</a> is HIGHLY more personalized than the other styling services I've used, and I love that they include the more affordable Nordstrom brands like Treasure &amp; Bond and Halogen.</p>

<p>No shoes this time, so it was a cute small box full of dresses, tops, and shorts for my upcoming trip to Paris and Nice. Let's try on!</p><h3>Knotted Sleeve T-Shirt Dress, PST by Project Social T, $49.</h3>

<p>Jayme knows I love black dresses - especially t-shirt dresses, since I've bought at least three from her already. This is a light, summery tee dress with a really cute little cutout detail on the sleeve. It's a little similar to the one I own from Calston, so I passed.</p><h3><a target="_blank" href="http://shopstyle.it/l/egsP">Charmer Slipdress, Sincerely Jules, $129.</a></h3>

<p>Can I say that this legit felt like a nightgown? In a good way - I know a lot of blogger's clothing lines can be hit or miss on quality, but this was very well made and SO soft. It definitely hugs the curves, so I was a little self conscious about how my stomach looked in this one. I'm also not a huge brown fan - if this had been a solid color like black or red, I probably would have kept it.</p><h3><a target="_blank" href="http://shopstyle.it/l/egrf">Lemay Dress, Paige Denim, $238.</a></h3>

<p>This dress was such a pleasant surprise! Honestly, when I pulled it out of the box I thought it was going to be a shapeless bag, but the elastic waist gives it a really cute shape. With the sleeves fully extended, it really didn't do too much for my frame, but I like it with the sleeves pushed up. The fabric is really light and airy as well; I could definitely see myself sipping some rosé by the beach in this dress! It's in my "probably keeping" pile right now.</p>

<p>This dress is *so* me. It's another one I'm trying to justify keeping, even though I have 50,000 black dresses. The silk is super soft and the shape is so modern. The fabric - and wrinkles - might be a little annoying to fight on a trip, especially since I'm stuffing everything in a carry on, but this would be a great transition piece into fall. Please talk me out of it. Or don't.</p><h3><a target="_blank" href="http://shopstyle.it/l/egvI">Noelle Tiered Chambray Dress, Rails, $158.</a></h3>

<p>Fun fact, Tularosa is my Pokemon trainer name on Pokemon Go. ANYWAY, there's a lot going on with this top. I actually liked it a lot, and would 1000% buy if I were attending The University of Texas. It's super soft and the detailing is really pretty, I just knew I wouldn't get as much wear out of it as I'd like since it's a little too shouldery for the office.</p><h3><a target="_blank" href="http://shopstyle.it/l/egt6">Shake It Off Decon Short, BlankNYC, $88.</a></h3>

<p>Jayme has a spiritual gift for finding great shorts. These are truly so comfy and stretchy that I would wear them all the time. The top of my thighs did seem to want to eat them a bit so they might not be the best fit for my body, but I know someone out there would absolutely love them.</p><h3><a target="_blank" href="http://shopstyle.it/l/egsE">Asymmetrical Shift Dress, Leith, $65.</a></h3>

<p>Loved both of these items, just no room for them in my closet! BlankNYC must just make great shorts, because these were just as comfy as the other pair. I do think these fit my body a little bit better, but I already have black cutoffs so we had to part ways. The keyhole tank was very cute too, but the last thing I need in my closet is another black tank. Great price though - just $35 - plus it comes in five different colors.</p>

<p>Once again, I am continually surprised by what I get in my trunks. While I didn't end up buying as much this time, I really liked a lot of the items even if they weren't what I needed right now.

Half of the time I don't have time to take pictures, the other half I'm just too lazy. And no one needs to see EVERYTHING I wear. But occasionally, I will snap an outfit selfie if I'm feeling myself (I've been trying to share them on instastories). Because I'm thirsty for attention and need you to click my affiliate links to make a nickel, here's what I wore in July.</p>

<p>I originally planned on wearing a crop top to my friend Amy's housewarming party, but that felt a little too vampy for such a chill event so I switched to this top/shorts set. Yes, it's SEPARATES. I'm obsessed with tops and bottoms that match right now, because you can wear them on their own or put them together to look like a dress or romper! This particular set has a bunch of variations - there are a couple of different top styles, and you can get cropped pants or shorts.

All opinions are mine alone. #GlissHairRepair #CollectiveBias</em></p><p>I love my curly hair. I watched all of Sex and the City in my early 20s, and seeing Carrie Bradshaw's beautiful curls inspired me to embrace my natural texture and learn how to properly fix curls. It has CHANGED my summers - so much easier to wash and go!&nbsp;The thing is, I tend to blow out my hair, straighten it and re-curl it more often than I wear it curly just because it's easy to restyle the next day.</p><p>But this year - that changed. I finally have figured out how to restyle my curly hair, and I'm going to share my best tips and tricks with you.</p>
<img class="thumb-image" data-image="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5241b695e4b007c50d79889b/t/597f88ca2e69cfaab49e7d7c/1501530320983/" data-image-dimensions="800x1200" data-image-focal-point="0.5,0.5" data-load="false" data-image-id="597f88ca2e69cfaab49e7d7c" data-type="image" src="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5241b695e4b007c50d79889b/t/597f88ca2e69cfaab49e7d7c/1501530320983/?format=1000w" />
<h3>Step One: Wash. Condition. CONDITION SOME MORE.</h3><p>Obviously. l picked up <a href="http://cbi.as/9bif4" rel="nofollow">Schwarzkopf Gliss™ Ultimate Repair</a> Shampoo, Schwarzkopf Gliss™ Ultimate Repair Conditioner, and Schwarzkopf Gliss™ Ultimate Repair Anti-Damage Mask for this post - their main focus is making damaged hair look fabulous. I'm HARD on my hair. Between the bleaching, the heat styling, and the endless ponytails and aggressive brushing, I need all the damage control I can get. I try not to wash my hair too often, so I do a hair mask every time I do to restore all of the moisture I can get.</p>
<img class="thumb-image" data-image="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5241b695e4b007c50d79889b/t/597f8adcf5e231dd426da361/1501530848257/" data-image-dimensions="800x533" data-image-focal-point="0.5,0.5" data-load="false" data-image-id="597f8adcf5e231dd426da361" data-type="image" src="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5241b695e4b007c50d79889b/t/597f8adcf5e231dd426da361/1501530848257/?format=1000w" />
<h3>Step Two: Air hair, don't care.</h3><p>I have two ways I let my hair dry naturally - if I want Carrie Bradshaw curls, I don't comb through it and try to touch it as little as possible until it dries fully (then I shake it allllll out). If I want looser, beachy waves, I comb through after I get out of the shower.</p><h3>Step Three: Pineapple Head.</h3>
<img class="thumb-image" data-image="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5241b695e4b007c50d79889b/t/597f8b4a7131a59889d01e14/1501530959125/" data-image-dimensions="800x825" data-image-focal-point="0.5,0.5" data-load="false" data-image-id="597f8b4a7131a59889d01e14" data-type="image" src="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5241b695e4b007c50d79889b/t/597f8b4a7131a59889d01e14/1501530959125/?format=1000w" />
<p>This is the MOST critical step in the restyling process. I use a stretchy little band to scoop all of my head on top of my head. It keeps the curls from getting smashed down by my enormous head, but it's nice and stretchy so it doesn't pull my hair and break it while I sleep. The Gliss helps with that too - it's all Keratin infused to restructure hair and make it up to 90% stronger. Bonus!</p>

<h3>Step Four: The restyle</h3>
<img class="thumb-image" data-image="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5241b695e4b007c50d79889b/t/597f8d21f9a61e430261849a/1501531430352/" data-image-dimensions="800x533" data-image-focal-point="0.5,0.5" data-load="false" data-image-id="597f8d21f9a61e430261849a" data-type="image" src="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5241b695e4b007c50d79889b/t/597f8d21f9a61e430261849a/1501531430352/?format=1000w" />
<p>Grab a tapered wand and touch up that top layer! Any pieces that are frizzy or have fallen flat get a couple of seconds with my wand to make them springy again. I usually only have to do this on the second day - these curls stay in tact a little better than my natural ones. I took a selfie every day after washing my hair and wearing it curly so I could show you the progression of my hair each day.</p>
<img class="thumb-image" data-image="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5241b695e4b007c50d79889b/t/597fac49914e6b15a236db41/1501539414804/" data-image-dimensions="802x802" data-image-focal-point="0.5,0.5" data-load="false" data-image-id="597fac49914e6b15a236db41" data-type="image" src="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5241b695e4b007c50d79889b/t/597fac49914e6b15a236db41/1501539414804/?format=1000w" />
<p>Let's just ignore the fact that I let this hair go to day 5 and 6 - don't worry I still shower if I'm not washing my hair - because this was a weird week and those days I just could not be bothered. The first day is my natural curls, freshly washed and air dried. Day two is after I restyled using my wand. They actually held up incredibly well to day three - then on day four, you can see they've relaxed a bit because I forgot to put it up. When I wake up in the morning, I take out my pineapple hair, put my hands in it up by my scalp, and flip my head over to shake them out.

We closed on our condo, moved all of our junk in, and I'm feeling this renewed sense of joy with my closet. I don't know if it's because we were separated for three weeks or just seeing stuff in a new light because it's in a different closet, but getting dressed has been fun again.&nbsp;</p><p>This outfit was a big hit on the instastories last week. The shirt is one I bought at Dillard's one day because I didn't like my outfit and had plans after work. The crop is from Everlane, bought with the idea that I'd pair it with high-waisted pants or skirts but never got around to wearing. And the pants you've seen before, a prize pair I found on sale after deciding I was going to dress more like Rachel Zoe. It's one of those outfits that I just felt great wearing, you know? &nbsp;And you know I love a good, "Wait until you see the back!" moment.</p>

AJ Wears Clothes investigates.</p><p>After happening upon <a target="_blank" href="http://www.vogue.com/article/how-to-wear-off-the-shoulder-tops-to-the-office-vogue-editors">this article from Vogue</a> last year tackling the issue with some hard-hitting journalism, I was intrigued to find out on my own. Of course, they said it was okay to wear them if:</p><ol dir="ltr"><li>You work at Vogue (cue MAJOR eye roll)</li><li>You work in a creative, casual environment</li><li>You balance your sexy, tantalizing shoulders with more conservative pieces.</li></ol><p>These rules were followed by a barrage of some of the FUGLIEST outfits I have ever seen. No, not just outfits. Pieces. In what office, nay, WORLD would you wear that dress? The top is okay, but are you suggesting I layer it over (or worse, under?) the dress to make it office appropriate? And who is tall enough to pull off that hemline with ugly loafers?</p>

<p>I am fortunate enough to work in a pretty casual office. I see someone wearing a company t-shirt and jeans nearly every day, and I suspect the shorts and flip flops will be pulled out as soon as temps rise above 90. Honestly, I always feel a little over dressed around there in general, so why not use it as an excuse to experiment?&nbsp;</p><p>So bright and early (read: 10am) yesterday morning, I bared all (read: shoulders) at work. The results may surprise you...</p>

<p>...or not. Honestly, shoulders are about the least offensive body part you can show. I played hard and fast by the Vogue rules and made sure to wear pants, and I even fashioned a makeshift strap by wearing overalls. WOULD I BE FIRED? WOULD PEOPLE STARE? AM I A HARLOT???</p><p>Honestly, they should've been more offended by the fact that I wasn't wearing a bra, but that's another post for another day.</p>

<p>No one even blinked an eye. There were no murmurs behind my back, HR didn't call me out, and my shoulders could finally breathe freely, often oppressed by those terrible, sweaty arm prisons called sleeves. So can you bare your shoulders at work? For this girl, it's a yes.</p>

When I worked in advertising, I felt the need to put a little effort into my look since I was occasionally client-facing. Now that I'm tucked away in a cubicle in startup world, my look has further evolved into more of what I like to think of as "effortless." Effortless in the sense that, I put on jeans and a tee and that's as much effort as you're going to get.</p><p>Enter: <a target="_blank" href="https://cladwell.com/">Cladwell</a>. I got an email from their founder announcing <a target="_blank" href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cladwell-daily-outfits-from-your-closet/id1140550878?ls=1&amp;mt=8">their new "outfits" app</a> and loved the concept - each day, the app serves up three outfit combinations based on the weather and what you've tagged as part of your closet.</p>

<p>Unlike other closet curation apps like StyleBook (which I have used for years and also not used for years), you don't have to take pictures of your clothing to add it to your closet, Instead, <a target="_blank" href="https://cladwell.com/">Cladwell</a> has curated 100s of articles of clothing and shoes to represent what's in your closet. They're not all going to be an exact match, but when "patterned blouse" pops up in my suggestions, I just choose from the 3 blouses I have that match that description. My "tie front blouse" is actually short sleeved. I know what it means. I use each piece as a suggestion, not a bible.</p>

<p>So I decided to do an experiment and let the app dress me for a week. I'll detail what I learned at the bottom, but here's what Cladwell served up for seven days of outfits:</p><h3>Monday: Sunny, H 81‎° &nbsp;L 50‎°&nbsp;</h3>

<p>Today's outfit just took note of the high, which was looking to be a rather warm afternoon. However, my office tends to be pretty cold and it was breezy this morning, so I threw on a jacket over the suggested outfit of the day. See? I'm already improvising.</p><p>Top,&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.elizabethandclarke.com">Elizabeth &amp; Clark</a> // Pants, <a target="_blank" href="http://shopstyle.it/l/ITg">Old Navy</a> // Shoes, Zara (<a target="_blank" href="http://shopstyle.it/l/IT6">similar</a>)</p><h3>Tuesday: Sunny, H 85‎° &nbsp;L 65‎°&nbsp;</h3>

<p>I didn't really need a jacket today, but I liked the idea of this outfit and thought it looked cute. The bomber was actually useful during office hours, but I shed it for the evening when we went to a baseball game.</p><p>Jacket, StitchFix (<a target="_blank" href="http://shopstyle.it/l/IVd">similar</a>) // Tee, <a target="_blank" href="http://shopstyle.it/l/IVg">Loft</a> // Jeans, <a target="_blank" href="http://shopstyle.it/l/IVi">Express</a> // Shoes, <a target="_blank" href="http://shopstyle.it/l/IUa">Adidas</a></p><h3>Wednesday:&nbsp;H 72‎° &nbsp;L 62‎° with Surprise Rain</h3>

<p>Maybe the forecast said rain and I wasn't listening while getting ready, but today's shoes were not prepared for torrential downpour! I was fine most of the day (which I'm guessing the app was betting on), but the rain rolled in at 5 pm just in time for me to take off my taupe suede and walk barefoot to the car. No cute photos today, but the shoes were saved.</p><p>Shirt, <a target="_blank" href="http://shopstyle.it/l/IUp">H&amp;M</a> // Jeans, <a target="_blank" href="http://shopstyle.it/l/IUr">Banana Republic</a> // Shoes, <a target="_blank" href="http://shopstyle.it/l/IVr">Steve Madden</a>&nbsp;</p><h3>Thursday: Rainy, H 68‎° L 60‎°&nbsp;</h3>

<p>More pigtails for a cloudy, rainy, gross day. I actually worked from home this day, so I just snapped a quick pic before heading to the radio station to record.&nbsp;</p><p>Sweater, Forever 21 (<a target="_blank" href="http://shopstyle.it/l/IVu">love this thing, on sale for $10!</a>) // Jeans, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.justfab.com/invite/AJshoes">JustFab</a> // Flats, <a target="_blank" href="http://shopstyle.it/l/IVz">Gucci</a></p><h3>Friday: Sunny, H 89‎° &nbsp;L 80‎°&nbsp;</h3>

<p>Thanks to the humidity to the days before, Friday was steeeeamy. I stepped it up when deciding between my three outfits and went with a skirt. I had an event later that evening I changed into a dress for, so these shoes were able to do double duty.</p><p>Tee, <a target="_blank" href="http://shopstyle.it/l/IVH">H&amp;M</a> //&nbsp;Skirt, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.justfab.com/invite/AJshoes">JustFab</a> // Wedges, Forever 21 (<a target="_blank" href="http://shopstyle.it/l/IVO">similar</a>)</p><h3>Saturday: Sunny, H 80‎° &nbsp;L 68‎°&nbsp;</h3>

<p>Another gorgeous weekend in the books. This is one of my favorite dresses to just throw on and go, so I almost ALWAYS wear it when the app suggests. Didn't really need the jacket during the day, but it got cooler and windy when we were patio'ing and it turned out to be a great thing to have.</p><p>Dress, Calson // Jacket, <a target="_blank" href="http://shopstyle.it/l/IVP">Gap</a> // Wedges, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.justfab.com/invite/AJshoes">JustFab</a></p><h3>Sunday, Partly Sunny, H 84‎° &nbsp;L 70‎°&nbsp;</h3>

<p>Definitely starting to feel more summery in the Natural State now that June is almost here, so I let it flow a bit for the weekend in a camisole, ripped jeans and wedges while we ran our typical downtown errands.&nbsp;</p><p>Top, <a target="_blank" href="http://shopstyle.it/l/IUY">Loft</a> // Jeans, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.justfab.com/invite/AJshoes">JustFab</a> // Wedges, Gianni Bini (<a target="_blank" href="http://shopstyle.it/l/IWC">similar</a>)</p><h3>So how did it go?</h3>

<p>This was both a fun and interesting challenge. Since Cladwell is new, they definitely have a few things to work on - some of which they've already made changes to since I started working on this post. One of the main requests on their iOS App reviews is definitely more items - they've already added at least 100 more since releasing, and have a special form you can fill out to ask for specific items. I've got a request in for overalls.</p><p>They've also added the option to "refresh" an outfit directly from the suggestion each day, so if you like the general idea of an outfit but not a particular piece, you'll get new suggestions. You can also reset your three options for the day completely, or choose a particular item from your closet and see outfits with just that piece. Another pro I forgot to mention in the list? You can log these outfits and see stats on how often you wear what's in your closet. Of course, this doesn't really help if you're not wearing that <em>exact</em> combination for the day.</p><p>One big con for me is that their algorithm is still learning, so sometimes it'll suggest shorts mid-week when I'm supposed to be at the office, or a shift dress and heels on a Saturday. I hope to see them continue to tweak, and then offer further specialization to outfits as well. I think it would be a SUPER powerful app if you could customize it to your own needs - say, business casual outfits only for M-Th or only showing outfits with flats. If they develop a honed filtering system that helps you get the most out of your closet, and not just the outfit suggestions, this will be a home run.</p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cladwell-daily-outfits-from-your-closet/id1140550878?ls=1&amp;mt=8">The app is $4.99 / month currently</a>, with a three day trial so you can give it a shot. It's definitely aimed at those who want to do the whole "capsule wardrobe made easy" thing, but taking the thinking part out of getting ready in the morning may be worth it in the long run! Let me know what you think if you try the app - this is a non-sponsored post, so I'd love to hear honest reviews from those of you who have tried and how you're making it work (or not) with your lifestyle.</p><p>UPDATE: I got this comment from Cladwell on some upcoming features and the exact item thing and thought I would share:&nbsp;<em>Just so you know, now you CAN choose a specific item that you want to wear. Click that item in your closet, hit "show outfits" and then on each outfit it curates, there are three dots in the bottom right corner of each outfit. Click that, and hit "log this outfit" (So, more control that way). Yay!&nbsp;<br />Also, we here you on some of your other cons! We are creating a new update where you can "categorize" your closet so that you can have different wardrobes for work vs. weekend.&nbsp;<br />You'll also be able to edit outfits in the new update, so stay tuned!! That way, if you don't like the outfits you get or maybe want to swap out different shoes, you have more control.&nbsp;</em></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/AjWearsClothes/~4/ICdzB9_-mMM" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>http://ajwearsclothes.com/home/2017/5/30/the-one-where-i-let-an-app-dress-me-for-a-weekAJ Wears :: A Two Piece Dresssummeroutfitweekend wearajwearsclothesTue, 23 May 2017 19:31:30 +0000http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AjWearsClothes/~3/8v95y3brq6s/aj-wears-a-two-piece-dress5241b695e4b007c50d79889b:52557876e4b07d0f5f9cd1ee:59248a6322482e3cd19020a0<p>In my never ending quest to build the perfect versatile wardrobe - particularly for travel - I love little hacks like today's "dress." The first time I wore it, my friend Maegan commented, "Cute dress!" and I pulled the waistband of the skirt out with excitement and said, "IT'S TWO PIECES!"</p><p>Yes, this two piece set is a modern wonder. I imagine I'll pack this for my summer excursions and wear the top with white pants and wedges, then the next day the skirt with a white silk tank. At night, I'll put the two together for the perfect dinner dress and wonder if people can smell the fact that I've worn the same two pieces for three days in a row. Easy, breezy, travel <a target="_blank" href="http://www.febreze.com/en-us">Febreze</a>&nbsp;(the Gain smell makes it feel like you actually did laundry).&nbsp;</p><p>Speaking of travel and walking in general, these JustFab flats are my latest favorite find. They're just dainty enough that it feels like you're wearing a dressy sandal, but comfortable for walking. For some reason the pathetic excuse for a heel still makes me feel like I'm wearing heels, so that's a win in my book.</p>

<p>These are actually the least offensive of the whole group, besides the price. If you've got $2400 burn and a nostalgic yearning for the 90's, you too can be a walking Gucci monstrosity.

I've gotten a few the past couple of months I haven't reviewed fully, because my stylist Jayme and I were on two different pages for spring. Warmer weather is hard to shop for, but she sent a top-knotch Trunk this week and I can't wait to share it with you!</p><p>For those of you who don't know, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.trunkclub.com/my/invite/LQPLHL">Trunk Club is a personal shopping service</a> that sends you a giant box of clothes and shoes hand picked by your stylist so you can try everything on at home and send back what you don't want. It's so much more personalized than services like Le Tote or StitchFix, because you can message back and forth with your stylist; you even preview your trunk before she ships it and choose what to send, and what you're not loving. If you want to try it, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.trunkclub.com/my/invite/LQPLHL">you can sign up here</a>.</p>

<p>The packaging, of course, is always so lovely and it's free to ship and return. <a target="_blank" href="https://www.trunkclub.com/my/invite/LQPLHL">Trunk Club</a> has honestly become one of my favorite ways to discover new brands and styles. Here's what Jayme sent this month:</p><h3><a target="_blank" href="http://shopstyle.it/l/pa0">Ruffle Detail Floral Print Tank, Lush, $35</a></h3>

<p>Cute <a target="_blank" href="http://shopstyle.it/l/pa0">summery tank from Lush</a>, a brand I am really starting to love. Their stuff is cute but very affordable! I passed on this since it wasn't a huge need, but I liked it.</p><h3><a target="_blank" href="http://shopstyle.it/l/pcL">Side Ruched Body-Con Dress, Treasure&amp;Bond, $59</a></h3>

<p><a target="_blank" href="http://shopstyle.it/l/pcL">This dress</a> was one of the things in my preview Trunk that I LOVED, and it did not disappoint. There's ruching all down the side so it's a flattering fit, but it's a super soft jersey material that will be clutch for the summer. KEPT IT. I also <a target="_blank" href="http://shopstyle.it/l/pcr">ADORED these espadrilles</a>...</p><h3><a target="_blank" href="http://shopstyle.it/l/pcr">Marcey Espadrille, Paul Green, $299</a></h3>

<p>...but the price tag is just too steep for right now. I'm going to put them on my wishlist and hope for a sale before summer is over. Not only were they SO COMFY, the little ties were just too cute. I had never heard of Paul Green before, but these shoes seem very well made! See what I mean about new brands? I don't know if I would have picked these out for myself, but they were one of my favorite items and terribly difficult to let go.</p><h3><a target="_blank" href="http://shopstyle.it/l/pc6">Frayed Hem Side Slits Denim Shorts, STS BLUE, $39</a></h3>

<p>STS Blue is another new brand to me, but I'm definitely going to check them out again! I kept <a target="_blank" href="http://shopstyle.it/l/pc6">these super soft, stretchy cut-offs</a> and imagine I'll be wearing them all summer long. For $39, I am thrilled - especially since I bought some size large shorts from Forever recently that I couldn't even get over my thighs.</p><h3><a target="_blank" href="http://shopstyle.it/l/paz">Block Stripe Split Back Top, Two by Vince Camuto $59</a></h3>
<img class="thumb-image" data-image="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5241b695e4b007c50d79889b/t/591bb072d2b85706271427e7/1494986872294/" data-image-dimensions="800x450" data-image-focal-point="0.5,0.5" data-load="false" data-image-id="591bb072d2b85706271427e7" data-type="image" src="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5241b695e4b007c50d79889b/t/591bb072d2b85706271427e7/1494986872294/?format=1000w" />
<p>Do you ever have that thought when you're shopping that something is cute, but maybe not $59 cute? <a target="_blank" href="http://shopstyle.it/l/paz">That's how I felt with this top</a>. I actually think the style is really unique with the split back, but there were other things in the box I wanted more so I passed on this one. JUST BARELY...I may have been influenced slightly by my husband. When I told him I got another Trunk, he said, "Oh wow, I can't wait to see what striped shirt you buy to go with all of your other striped shirts." Insert *monkey covering his eyes* emoji here.</p><h3><a target="_blank" href="http://shopstyle.it/l/pb5">Grace Slide SandalSteve Madden, $49.95</a><br /><a target="_blank" href="http://shopstyle.it/l/pb2">Taya Espadrille Flat, Dolce Vita, $119.95</a></h3>

<p>Jayme sent these other two pairs of flats, which were only so/so for me. I recently got a pair of black "X" slides similar to the Steve Maddens, and I felt like they showed too much toe. The Dolce Vita espadrilles were cute, but a little snug. Both passes.</p><h3>Dress, No idea, no idea the price, can't find it anywhere.</h3>

<p>No idea where this dress is from, because I didn't save the little card like an idiot blogger. It wasn't really flattering, but it had pockets. However....I basically have this dress already anyway, so it was a pass. Ugh, just realized this dress makes me look pregnant. HARD pass, then.</p>

<p>This was another hard pass for me. While I appreciate what she was trying to do here, the whole thing was overwhelming on my frame and way too boho for my liking. I felt like I was about to go down to a river to be baptized by someone in overalls. Or sacrificed. Either/or.</p><h3><a target="_blank" href="http://shopstyle.it/l/pat">Side Slit Tank, Lush, $34</a></h3>

<p>Surprise! You know what I definitely needed? <a target="_blank" href="http://shopstyle.it/l/pat">Another black top</a>. Whatever, this one from Lush was SO reasonably priced and I love the longer back thing it's got going on.
